So, if you want to get outside, get things done, this afternoon is the time to do it. Much more information on the coming noreaster just ahead. Welcome back. Taking a live look from sky6, the view over phl. If youre on your way to i dont know, Puerta Vallarta caribbean, california anywhere warm we are very jealous right now. It is 4 42 and a toasty 18 degrees out there. Some variabling still with the storm. There almost always are with these noreasters, theyre tough but it does look like were going get a cutoff where some people dont get much at all and others do worse. Storm tracker6 live right now showing us that were dry and taking a look outside we do have sky6 and probably see a fair amount of sunshine this morning with cold conditions and then well mild up a little bit later this afternoon. However, clouds increase ahead of that approaching storm. 18 degrees is your current temperature in philadelphia. The winds are northwest at 12 Miles Per Hour and thats enough to give you a wind chill of five. Weve been talking about wind chills of zero or below a lot over the last couple of days, though, so all things considered, a bit of an improvement. Still want to bundle up this morning, though. The current temperature in allentown is 10. 14 in trenton, 12 in wilmington. And 25 degrees down in cape may. And wind chills making it feel a little bit worse. Todays forecast, well, as i mentioned, well start out with sun and then see the clouds increase and it does get better today in terms of the temperature. By noon, were up to 26. But by 3 oclock, all the way up to 31 so again, if you want to get things done, this afternoon is the time to do just that. High temperatures today all improved across the region. Not as harsh out there. 28 in allentown, 29 in reading. 31 in wilmington, 28 in trenton. 32 in millville and a bit above the freezing mark down the shore today. Not as harsh. In terms of the snow, it looks like its going to be delayed in terms of its arrival. Most models holding this off until about 11 oclock, maybe midnight tonight down the shore and then theres a wide range of disparity as to how close to the coast this storm arrives. And how far west the snow pushes. This current future tracker six model does have some of this going out into the northern and western suburbs but then pretty much moving the snow out pretty quickly. I also want to show you the euro because this one has a little bit of a different take. Between 1 00 a. M. And 4 00 a. M. You can see how the snow does fill in better out toward the west and pushes farther to the west by 9 oclock before, again, pushing off during the early to midafternoon hours so theres a disparity out there in the models and as youd expect that means the numbers are coming in a little bit different, too. This 12inch of snow in philadelphia, we really think is an outliar. The storm would have to come in very close to the coast in order for in to happen. Most models dont believe it and were really thinking this one to three range that you see on the euro and gfs is more likely in philadelphia. So were going with this kind of idea for a most likely scenario. This will be overnight tonight into thursday. Out in the northern and western suburbs probably only a coating to an inch. We might even see that drop down here to the west as well. The rest of us see about one to 3 inches in the Center Portion of the region but again, down the shore, three to 6 inches would be possible. Of course its all about location. Theres going to be a sharp cutoff to the west with this storm where totals in some areas may be nothing, maybe just a dusting and then up to 6inches or perhaps a little more over by the shore. Do keep in mind that with any noreaster a slight shift in the track can lead to very big changes. Down the shore the heaviest snow is expected to arrive, three to 6 inches probable. Significant travel delays. Wind gusts will be an issue blowing and drifting snow as well amount real quick look here at the Atlantic City models. Again, i think this is an outliar but it kind of reminds you of what can happen with these noreasters and what has happened in the past but that we really think is a an outliar, two to four up to six is more like what you can expect. Always fun to look at those outlying models. Not as harsh today, 31 trees your degrees your high. Thursday 29 degrees, that snow should taper offer as off as the day goes basket bitter cold friday and saturday, highs of just 17 degrees on friday, 15degree high on saturday. Overnight lows down in the mid single digits, close to records in some cases and then finally sunday back to 24. How do you like 40 for monday and 42 for tuesday . Sounds great.
